It boggles the mind (mine anyway)

A couple of weeks ago at church my pastor said something that really resonated with me. He said, “The most important thing in the world is God’s glory.” Isn’t that true? So no matter what I’m doing I need to be 100% that I am bringing glory to God because that’s why he made me!”

Stumbled onto this while surfing photographer web sites. I just don’t get this. Doesn’t that make God sound like a narcissistic prick? Isn’t it a grander vision of God to believe he made you for no other reason than to be yourself and give you the opportunity to learn and grow?

I could be wrong, but I kinda think the harder thing to do is to set someone you love free to be who they choose to be rather than to try and exert absolute control over them and try to make them into something you want them to be.

Why is it we seem to endow God with the worst qualities of mankind rather than the best?
